Question 1(f)

Determine if the following are in proportion:

33, 44, 75, 100

Answer 1

If two ratios are equal, we say that they are in proportion.

Ratio of 33 to 44 = $\frac{33}{44}$ = 3 : 4

Ratio of 75 to 100 = $\frac{75}{100}$ = 3 : 4

Since the simplest form of the ratios 33 : 44 and 75 : 100 are equal,33, 44, 75, 100 are in proportion.
